This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Learn about East Tennessee Wildlife with Harrison Bay's captive animals. Students will learn about raptor diets with a hands-on pellet dissection, and how different birds of prey have adapted to be apex predators in their environment! The second half of the program will be up-close with Peaches the corn snake. Students will learn about snakes native to Tennessee.
Registration is limited to 25 students, K-12. Younger children (0-4) are welcomed to join but do not need to be registered. Please park in the Star Walk Trail parking lot, across from the Interpretative Center and aviary. There is a restroom available inside the Interpretative Center.
